Born, become, arisen – made, prepared, short-lived
Bonded by decay and death – a nest for sickness, perishable
Produced by seeking nutriment – not fit to take delight in
Departure from this is peaceful – beyond reasoning and enduring
Unborn, unarisen – free from sorrow and stain
Ceasing of all factors of suffering – stilling of all preparations is bliss

I liked this section, and couldn't help thinking of the "common folk" as activists who push identity based issues (i.e. "a multitude of wrongness"), and the "noble disciple" as the one who can see the drawbacks of such folly...

A noble disciple who is endowed with the vision of the truth gains the fruit of right comprehension (abhisamaya ). If the common folk has wrong view, that has its basis in identity view (sakkāyadiṭṭhi ), accumulates through identity view, arises through identity view, and emerges through identity view. That is, being covered by and experiencing worry and sorrow, they [still] celebrate and cher­ish it, call it a self, call it a living being, call it out­standing, special, and hold it to be superior.

“In this way this multitude of wrongness has all been completely given up and eradicated, removed at its root; like a plantain tree it will not arise again in the future.

It explains the wrongness of white supremacy and black supremacy etc. to a T.

I guess the human condition hasn't radically changed in the last 2600 years.

Thanks for sharing!

Venerable, is it the case that these aren't available for free, or whatsoever? If the former, where can I pay for them?
